We don’t have jury duty where I live. Or courts. Or laws.
Pretty great as long as you can prevent getting murdered when you’re asleep.
Or when you’re awake.
Something else that’s lawless turf is the Twogag Facebook page.
There’s RULES though, Facebook keeps insisting on that.
Twogag has changed storefront, the new site shares the store with a lot of other cool comics that you might also read. So now you can buy merchandise and support several comics while also saving up on shipping costs.
It’ll be a while til the T-shirts will be back however, I apologize for that but there are a bunch of new prints available in the store that wasn’t purchasable in the old one. Be sure to check it out to see if you find anything you like.
Happy shoppin’
I’ve attempted to write a FAQ a few times but they’ve always ended up not helpful or helpful but depressing. But due to a recent spike in questions I’ve decided to just go for it.
Besides this post, the FAQ also got it’s own permanent page.
Is Guy and Wayne a couple?
- No they’re just friends, if that’s a word you can use to describe their relationship. Frenemies?
Do Frank, Guy and Wayne live together, like are they roommates?
- This is unclear even to me, If a joke requires them to be roommates, then that’s what they are.
What’s Guy’s real name?
- I’m not sure, I haven’t asked.
Hello, I’m a writer and I need someone to draw a comic, I can’t pay right now, (maybe later if the comic sells) but It’ll be good practice and great exposure for you! are you interested?
- No, I got my own stories I would like to tell if I ever got the time. Also those reasons aren’t real.
Do you have any tips on how to start a webcomic?
- Just start it.
No, Really.
I don’t know how to make a website for my comic, can you help?
- Neither did I but then I Googled “comicpress” you should too.
How do you become a professional artist?
- By having people pay you to do art. You can be a professional artist at any skill level, as long as you make a living out of your craft, you’re by definition a “professional artist”.
Of course, the more skilled you are, the bigger the chance of someone paying you. but you need to market yourself, very few artist just gets “found”.
How long have you been drawing?
- I started for real around 2003, then around 2006 I decided it’s what I’d like to do with my life.
Do you exhibit at any conventions?
- I’d like to, I attended San Diego Comic Con in 2011, but I’ve yet to exhibit at any convention. Living in Sweden makes the logistics and expenses very overwhelming.
Some day!
How did you come up with Twogag?
- It kinda just evolved from a vacuum. I only knew what I didn’t want in the comic. I didn’t want Twogag to rely on pop culture references, I didn’t want any self insertion characters and I didn’t want it to be about videogames.
How do I become an artist?
- Draw.
How do I become a writer?
- Write.
I’d like to become better at drawing, got any tips?
- Everybody says this, but it’s the only way, man. Just draw, draw, draw, draw. Sacrifice your gaming, friend and movie time and draw some more.
But something every aspiring artist should ask themselves is; “do I actually like to draw, or do I just like the idea of drawing?”
I want to become a professional webcartoonist, got any tips?
- Love drawing, hate money.
If you meet the above criteria and do create a webcomic, market it. Don’t just post your pages or strips and expect readers to find it.
Do you write your comics beforehand or just free-ball it?
- I generally start out with a vague idea or concept and develop it either in my head or as I write it.
It’s a good idea to remove yourself from distractions such as the internet while doing this. I used to browse sites a lot with the excuse “I’m looking for inspiration.” but that has yet to work.
What software do you use?
- Adobe Photoshop.
What version of Photoshop do you use?
- It doesn’t matter.
What’s the best question you’ve been asked?
- This one.
Will you ever make a FAQ?
- I have a feeling the frequency of this question will subside, but yes.

Jury Duty is worse than getting your Driver’s License renewed.
Rules and laws are the same thing, suggestions.
only thing is if you get caught not taking these suggestions you will be punished… be that punishment by being locked off of your account or by being beaten by cops and butt-fucked in jail
You just know Guy is on Wayne’s jury, and loving every second of convicting him
nah, I can’t honestly see that… I think she wouldn’t be allowed to.
Looks like she just came to watch.
Damn too silly right now. Cpt. help pls?
This is the author comment a couple strips ago with Franks Alibi Augmentation.
Good thing Bipolar gets me out of it…
Not really, no. It’s a disorder and although you may be manic or depressed you still know the difference between right and wrong. You need to be nuts enough to get locked up for it to get out of a crime.
I thought that he meant jury duty.
Even at that, if you are taking your meds, they don’t give a crap. unfortunately.
oh that one is easy to get out of. just get a doctors appointment a days before the jury duty. tell the docker you are dying whit cancer. your Doctor will do a blood test, “this takes a few days” in those days you just tell the jury you are dying from cancer, and could drop dead any second. the jury cant confirm that its a hoax, so they must let you go ;) and when the blood results finally get to the jury or you. there is nothing they can do, there is no law against paranoia :P
One flaw with that theory. I’m terrified of needles.
hmm. can someone explain this to me? not sure i got the joke.
Wayne didn’t want to go to jury duty, but he has a scheme to get out of it.
Panel 3 – Wayne is a defendant. Therefore, to get out of jury duty, Wayne committed a crime.
It is redundant because either way he appears in court, using up his time. Wayne is also too stupid to see this ahead of time (“hindsight”), and that it is in fact worse for him since he has an arrest on his record.
ah ok thanks, i thought that was it, but wasnt sure. these comics are almost always deep thinking jokes :p
…hmm well the plan was apparently to commit a crime and be the one tried instead? That seems like a rather lame plan… but I’m still not sure why it would be redundant otherwise. So that must mean guy’s up next on the docket to be tried? She couldn’t be a juror for the same reason Wayne couldn’t be one for her. No competent lawyer from either side would let that slide. If that is the case it might have been easier to tell (and therefore funnier to those who aren’t getting it) if they’d been in either prison stripes or the modern orange jumpsuits (which is no longer worn during the trial itself, but still present during the pretrail… maybe too much info there)
Redundant because Wayne is in court anyways, his time used up. See, if Wayne went to jury duty, he would have had to report to the court house for a couple of days. Maybe longer if he was picked for a trial that went long.
By committing a crime he has to go through the legal process and is forced to be in court. That is the redundancy. He got out of jury duty, but ends up in court anyways.
Getting out of jury duty is easy. All you have to do is say something that will tell the court that you are incapable of making an unbiased decision.
Awful lot of honkies in here…
“I’m proud to be here. It’s my civic duty.”
“Insanity, good one.”
anyone who says that without being at least 70 probably is.
All the seeds of this strip were there back in #253.
Does that mean Wayne is some idealised form of Drunken Novice?
shouldn’t Wayne be disqualified for being a convicted felon from 251?
Not if Guy eventually dropped those fraud charges.
I miss Frank.
I know it’s not a pun-related comment, but has anyone else noticed that if you’re back 20-30 issues, the [Latest] button doesn’t take you to the latest?
@ Therix , ya I noticed it.
